Perspective... | ADHD Information

This message may get 'booted' into the non ADHD topic, but I at least wanted to start here. I read a lot and post a lot about ADHDers and some days there are a lot of good and some days there are a lot of hardships here...

And then, there are the moments we don't always share. When we look at our ADHDers and we realize that we'll take them the way they are not only because we know we love them, but because someone else's nightmare has given us perspective. I'm a Christian woman and strong in my faith. I am a prayer warrior, trying to be and get requests from friends to pray for 'strangers'. In October I received an email about a four year old boy who was needing prayer after a heart transplant he had in June.  I went there and I followed their story and prayed vigilently for them and continue to do so. By the way 'there' was a website they had formed to update friends/family and prayer warriors who 'stumbled' upon their site. Evan passed on not long after I heard his story.  His father continues to write a blog and I continue to read it...I continue to pray for them. I know you're wondering why I'm posting this here (hence the reason I said I may be booted out ) . I'm doing this to help remind myself and everyone on here that life is so very short and we aren't promised any more than this moment.  And neither are our children.  Life is life and we'll go on until our 'sand runs out', so to speak.  But maybe you could visit their site and maybe you could say a little prayer for them. and then, maybe some of the things that seem so large/annoying/wrong/desperate will seem a little less of that and we'll start to appreciate the humor and love ...  You know, it helps us to cherish our time. I hope this doesn't seem bazarre, I really am just hoping to bring some  to the day. We all love our children and because of the DeMello's loss, I've learned to show it at any given moment.
